Eship: Customised hybrid and electric propulsion system

You provide the ship. We handle everything else.

Turnkey retrofit ship electrification solution

With our Eship™ solutions, we help you reach your operational and environmental targets through a turnkey retrofit solution that upgrades your ship for full or partial electric operation in line with your requirements.

Our Eship™ solution is the fast track to ship electrification. We take responsibility for all aspects of your project through four main stages:

Identification, Design, Installation, and Deployment. From shore power to full battery operation, and everything in between, we develop and deliver the solution you need. Examples of ship electrification applications include the following:

Peak shaving using onboard batteries, allowing diesel/HFO engines to run at their optimal duty point
Fully electric, battery-powered propulsion (with optional backup diesel engine)
Shore power installation allowing the vessel to connect to an onshore power supply (OPS)
Power backup/spinning reserve for critical operations (DP, narrows, and harbour manoeuvres) running on batteries instead of diesel.

Ferries

As a ferry operator, you need to adhere to timetables, and you may need to take steps to reduce emissions in ports and at sea. In addition, passenger comfort is often an important consideration. Marine electrification can help you achieve all of these goals: On longer crossings, onboard batteries can be used for peak shaving and load levelling, optimising the efficiency of your diesel/HFO main engines, and you can carry out docking manoeuvres or navigate narrows on electrical power, reducing emissions, noise, and vibrations. On shorter crossings, ferries can often run on 100% electrical power.

Ferries can be fitted with onboard batteries below deck or in A60 deckhouses. Batteries can be charged from onshore charging solutions and/or from the onboard engines or generators. Charging sockets can be fitted to port or starboard, or both, and the power management and automation systems of the ferry are upgraded to enable full or partial electric operation as per your requirements. Charging regimes are defined to suit your operation, for example topping up during short port stays (thereby ensuring regular operation according to the timetable) and carrying out a complete recharge overnight.

Offshore / supply vessels

Offshore/supply vessels frequently operate in emission control areas and for clients who place strict requirements on low or zero-emission operations. Operating far from shore, you cannot run your vessel on fully electrical power, but you can use onboard batteries for DP on electrical power, limiting the number of gensets and engines in use. Batteries can also be used for peak shaving and load levelling, optimising the efficiency of your diesel/HFO main engines and preventing start-up of extra gensets to cover transitory demand spikes.

Tankers

You can optimise the efficiency of your tanker operation by installing onboard batteries that maximise the efficiency of the engines and gensets. By using batteries for peak shaving and load levelling, you can run your engines and gensets at their optimum duty point, reducing emissions and prolonging service intervals. You can also handle transitory demand spikes from the batteries instead of starting up one or more gensets. While fully electric operation is not possible, given the average port-to-port distance on tanker routes, battery operation is possible during docking manoeuvres, in narrow straits, or when sailing in emission control areas.

Fishing vessels

On board a fishing vessel, space is a key factor – particularly on deck where there is zero room for more equipment in addition to cranes, winches, and so on. However, you can still retrofit your fishing vessel for electrical operation by fitting batteries below deck and still leave room for maximum payload and sufficient crew accommodation. You can use the batteries for peak shaving and load levelling at sea, running your engines and gensets at their optimal duty point and preventing gensets from starting to cover transitory demand spikes. In ports and on fishing banks covered by emissions regulations, you can also run your vessel on pure battery power.
